I Don’t Know About You, But I’m Feeling 22!

While it’s only been a little under two years since T-Swift debuted her Red album, this song has become an iconic part of anyone celebrating a 22nd birthday. Admit it, when that day rolled around you shot out of bed and belted it out from beginning to end. No? Just me? Well this is about as awkward as T-Swift dancing at an award show…

The song is meant to depict a time where you can look back and remember all the carefree, crazy, silly, ridiculous memories that that age brought you, and I am no exception. I’m currently 22 and I can say that this past year has been one of the craziest, wildest, bestest (not a word but I don’t care!) years of my life. Why? Glad you asked.

In the past year I’ve graduated college, got a full time job in my field, and am in the process of moving for the 10th time in ten years. In the past ten years I’ve moved to Japan to Erie to Pittsburgh, but this move is unlike any other I’ve made. This move will be the last for me for a long while because when I move, I’ll be moving into my own house!

Being an interior designer, I’ve been bombarded with questions about renovations when I tell people I’m going to be a homeowner. Will I tear down any walls? What will my color scheme be? How will I lay out the rooms? Will you do all this yourself or will you hire contractors? Where will you start?

To be honest, I don’t know where I’ll start. I have all these project ideas building up in my head and want to do everything right away, but I know that’s not reality. But I wanted to create this website as a way to document my journey in homeownership and every crazy bit along the way.

So yes, when I look back at the age of 22 I will be reminded of the craziest year of my life. No, it won’t be memories of the normal 22 year old, but I’m okay with that.
